For the love of god, Alcatraz!
Jan. 20th, 2009 05:10 pmAh, my cold's taken a turn for the worse, I've not really had a good night's sleep since I got here. I feel guilty for my condition cos I'll be disrupting other people's sleep too. I'm getting myself drugged up on Tyenol Severe Cold and NyQuil to try and surpress my symptoms. Hopefully I can shift this damn cold before the con.
Anyway, yesterday's main attraction to tick off was Alcatraz. Sadly the night tours were all booked up so we settled on a normal audio tour. After some delays, Wruf joined us for the trip over and Frysco managed to get there in time for our departure too which was impressive considering the distance he covered. Alcatraz was much the same as last time I went but it was enjoyable to go through it again.
After that, we grabbed food at the Wipeout Grill on Pier 39 where I had far too many fries and a BBQ burger. We decided to save dessert for Ghirardeli Square and so nipped into our hotel for warmer clothes (while others stole our wifi) before heading towards the square.
En Route, we stopped by the International Spy Shop for a browse and were then harassed by a scary Captain Birdseye drunk guy who wanted our cards as we said we didn't have change. We hooked back to the Walgreens where I got some razor blades while the people outside bumped into some german furs off to meet up with BBF and co.
Once we got to the square, we were hurled insults from Captain Birdseye again who seemed to be waiting for us. We ignored him and popped into the ice cream shop for sundaes. I went for the traditional chocolate fudge sundae as recommended by many tourist guides and I was glad I did, very tasty it was :)
Things kinda wound down for me after that, still suffering from my cold, I didn't want to do anything too involved so ended up chilling out with Koebi, Kyy and Utlah at the Sheraton hotel while the others went to a bar in the Castro.
Today, our plans include wandering around the Union Square area and getting some shopping :)
